Default X crashes; how to diagnose

Hello, all!

Slackware-current, 2.4.29 kernel. I'm getting frequent X crashes while
running KDE. It seems to happen more often than not when I have a
konsole open. Screen blanks, and I get either a very few (1 to 4) or
many (100s) of vertical lines in various colours drawn on the screen.
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. Keyboard also locks at this point. The only ways out
seem to be to either cycle power or reset the computer.

I'm not Linux-savvy enough (yet) to diagnose where the problem might be.
Can anyone get me started? If this were Windows I'd suspect buggy
hardware, since the drivers are pretty vanilla (i810 chipset & video).

Nick.

I suppose your problem is this. Did you configure the X server by
yourself or you have accepted the default configuration file instead?
If my supposition is right, the problem stands in the way the
frequencies of your monitor have been set. You'd better read on your
monitor's user's guide, in the section of the technical specifications,
about the supported vertical and horizontal frequencies. The, as root,
you must edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, in the "Monitor" Section, and
change the values you find with the suitable ones.

Depending on how serious this crash is it might also be possible to log in
to your computer over the network with telnet or ssh and then kill X.

Hmmm... I took the values right off the monitor manufacturer's spec
sheet, so I don't think that's it. Plus, the display is rock steady
until the crash happens, which can be anytime from minutes to many hours
after power-up.
I'm using 1280x1024 @ 75 MHz refresh, which is also the manufacturer's
recommended resolution.

hi there,

did you change the value for the agp-aperture in the bios-setup ?
mine works only ok with 64 MB aperture, and your xorg-log reports
a lot of memory alocation errors.

maybe take alook at that.

Xorg.0.log is the log from the latest (or the current) X session. So, I'm
guessing that's the session you were in when you posted the log. That
session has not crashed (yet), right? You need to look at the log from a
crashed session. X keeps several old logs, or look at Xorg.0.log
immediately after a crash, and before starting X again.

Had a look and the memory is set to 64 MB, although it's not called agp
aperture on this 1999 bios; the motherboard doesn't even have an agp
port, as I recently was horrified to find out

Okay--that makes sense. I'll try to grab Xorg.0.log right after the next
crash, before I restart X. Of course, what this means is that my
computer will not crash for the next month or so...
